Research title: Optimisation Techniques for Microwave Antenna and Filter Design

Research summary

I am a final-year PhD student in Electronic Engineering at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, supervised by Professor Bo Liu. I hold BEng degrees in Electronic Engineering from the University of Glasgow and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), and an MS in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I have also worked at MathWorks as a research intern.

My research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and radio-frequency engineering. I develop surrogate-assisted and evolutionary optimisation methods for simulation-intensive RF design, including digitally coded antennas and power amplifiers. In collaborative work on photonic filters, my contribution focuses on optimisation algorithms for grating phase-shift design, combining self-adaptive differential evolution with memetic local refinement.

I also investigate large language models for antenna modelling and engineering workflows. Our LADS study, published at EuCAP 2026, connects literature-based antenna reconstruction with parameter optimisation. Its open-source modelling component, LEAM, supports inspectable, engineer-guided workflows. Further project descriptions and research notes are available on my personal website.
